Design problems

[minduka]

Hi

I need some help with the design of a site. the address is:

http://www.geocities.com/frogmen14/index.htm

The problem is the space below "home" I want it to look like a folder. Is there a way to get rid of the space? Thanks

Hi minduka,

It appears to be a little alignment issue, try this:

Replace your current table row <tr> code in where the 'home.gif' resides:

  <tr>
    <td height="20" colspan="5">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="home.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('home','','home2.gif',1)"><img src="index_files/home.gif" alt="home" name="home" width="96" height="20" border="0"></a><a href="school.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('school','','school2.gif',1)"></a></td>

  </tr>

with this new code:

<tr>
    <td colspan="5">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="home.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('home','','home2.gif',1)"><img src="index_files/home.gif" alt="home" name="home" width="96" height="20" border="0" align="left"></a><a href="school.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('school','','school2.gif',1)"></a></td>

  </tr>

The difference: align="left"

Let us know if this works for you.

hey, thanks! it works

wonder why i didn't think about that before.

it proves two brains are better than one

I have another question about tables. Is there a way to put text in the border? so it looks something like this:

-- TEXT------------
| |
| TABLE |
| |
---------------------

[minduka]

oops..again

-- TEXT --------------------
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| ~~~~TABLE~~~~~ |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
-----------------------------

[minduka]

is it not possible?

Hey minduka, glad that worked for you :-) Sorry I wasn't able to get back with you right away.

Re the text-in-the-border, unless you want to simulate a text-in-border with a graphic inserted into a table row, you could do this.. but it's limiting.

Click this and view source:

(You can ignore the <script> contents, it's the Netscape resize code..)

There might be another way, but this is what I could think of at the time :-) Hope it helps!

hey thanks! look at what i did

Do you know how to fix the left side of the folder? Thanks

Yeah.. that's the "limiting" part. For this to work, you have to have the table ''fixed" .. so that it doesn't move..

Other than a text-graphic simulation in a row, or a simulated border, I can't think of a way to embed text into an actual border... if someone does know a way, I'd like to see it, too :-)

You might play around with some CSS, that might yield something..
